(My boss and) I would like to know how my attendance at your events will relate to the work I do.

Wisdom 2.0 brings together leaders and individuals, working at and with large and small organizations and individuals, who are impacting how we can live and work optimally and mindfully in this digital age.

The Technology and Business founders and leaders we invite to speak provide their own wisdom of how to optimize innovation, creativity and mindfulness in the contemporary workplace.

We regularly have individuals from Learning & Development, Human Resources, Organizational Coaching and Consulting and other fields participating at the conference. After each event, participants leave with new tools and strategies for optimizing their performance at work, no matter what field of work they're in.

Everyone is encouraged to bring what we learn at the conference into our own workplaces, homes, and lives. The conversations that happen at Wisdom 2.0 represent the future of business cultures worldwide -- not to mention you'll make great connections with other professionals in your field -- and you and your boss will both be glad you took the time to attend.

How can I be, or nominate someone else to be, a speaker at Wisdom 2.0?

Thanks for your interest in Wisdom 2.0! Many great speaker recommendations come from our community. We are always excited to learn about people doing new, innovative, tech and wisdom-based work in the world.

We consider speaker applications on a rolling basis. If you have never attended a Wisdom 2.0 event, please review videos from previous years before submitting an application, so that you have an understanding of what Wisdom 2.0 is all about.

We receive hundreds more applications than we have room for speakers at the conference. A very, very small percentage gets chosen. As such we cannot get back to people individually. Our programming committee will be in touch if your nomination seems like a good fit.
